rather tight. if you can't arrange a larger partition I suggest:
rm /usr/share/relink/kernel/*/newbsd.gdb (ref usr.sbin/config/mkmakefile.c
r1.49)
sysclean | grep ^/usr, review and remove
if still looking too tight
rm /usr/lib/*.a
sysupgrade -n
rm /home/_sysupgrade/comp*
reboot to upgrade
pkg_add -u
sysclean | grep ^/usr, review and remove
evaluate whether you have space to extract comp*.tgz
(for arranging a larger partition, look at what's next on disk after
/usr. I've often dropped /usr/X11R6, edited disklabel to enlarge
/usr into the space and growfs'd, then extracted x sets again to
fill out in /usr. or perhaps you don't use /usr/{src,obj} and can
do something with them).

at 171MB free in /usr I wouldn't risk a simple sysupgrade.
